I was blessed to get to know Leonard and Marlys the last week before his passing, I told them both I wish I could have known them sooner for they where so loved by many. To hear the stories and see them laugh together was so heart warming. I know he is now in peace and not in pain anymore. I wish only good things for Marlys and family....Carol..HomeInsteadSeniorCare.
